1-Scene CMS [Alternate Version]
Version: 1.01




Introduction

Happy new year everyone! As a present for you all, here's my latest script! (It's been some times since I last scripted). This script is another CMS packed in one scene, hence the 'alternate version'. By creating this, I hope I've remembered most of the stuff about RGSS while I'm absent.

And, no, I'm not grounded that long, it's just that I get hooked up by other things (DoTA, Warcraft World Editor, Visual Basic) that I forgot RMXP.

Features

• Categorized Items
• Fully Animated
• HP, MP, & EXP bars

Credits and Thanks

Special thanks to Sven Kistner for his MMD3 Winamp skin which inspires me to make this. Also Squall/Selwyn for his ASM.

Author's Notes

Credit me & enjoy!

Note: I need some one who can host the script text file, so people can directly copy it from the website instead of downloading it first.

Great!!!! Keep up your work (^^)

Can we make it that the items aren't categorized like that?  Like, hitting items just takes you to a regular old item screen instead?  =/

EDIT: never mind.  I played with it and it works excellent.

Fantastic script.  The best menu script I've ever seen.  =)

Looks amazing!

Legacy nice, glad to see your making another CMS. This one looks nice, though I like your old one more. This one I might use though, thanks for sharing.

Wow this is way better than your first one. And I loved your first one :D

Awesome work!

this looks awesome but i am having a problem there is an error on line 294:

Thank you guys, for all the comments!

@pirate
ookay...
what triggered that error to appear? I mean, when did you get that error?

Ahh, Legacy, this looks lovely, I may have to steal it =D

Legacy, this is very good.  Much better than your original CMS.  There's one bug that I found, though.  When you're in the equip menu, and you use Page Down to alternate characters, the equip window gets all messed up.  However, when you use Page Up, it fixes itself.

I'm experiencing some strange things, Mister LegACy.

(encountered in the demo)

In the Equip menu, there are certain items which will not show up erroneously. A ring I just bought shows up in the inventory, but
cannot be equipped. I can, however, equip this item in the default menu. (afterwards I can again equip it in yours)

Also, the item restrictions don't go with what is in the Database, for example: An Arshes/Aluxes only sword can be used by anyone.

Which is a shame, because I really do think this menu is the best I've ever encountered. I was using your previous 1 Scene CMS
for the longest time before this. I was very surprised to see you again.

Whew, I'm glad people love the menu, since I kinda break the habit (I used the standard menu looks for my previous CMS) for this menu, and a much more unique animation with it. Anyway, I'll fix it right away, there's something that I missed >.<

Hmm... I'll check it out right way, I must have missed something

Yea, I'm surprised myself I get back here ^^

Okay, problem fixed, it seems I haven't put the update method when entering the equipment menu >.<

Here's the script file:
MegaUpload || SendSpace

(Note that the demo still has v1.00 version of the script, so copy it from the txt file instead)

Thank you immensely, LegACy.

If there is anyone else who loves this menu as much as me, they must be wondering how
to add additional buttons in the menu. I've compiled a step-by-step instruction.

Basic knowledge of scripting may be required, also this is quite long so it's only for people really interested.
With this, you can call common events from the menu.

Adding additional buttons to 1 Scene CMS [Alternate]

The numbers for the lines deal with version 1.01, other versions will undoubtedly have different lines.

This will only add 1 extra button to both the items tab and the main menu, additional buttons simply
require fiddling with these numbers.

Line 39 - Adding Element  Change to whatever you want.

Change to:

Add the element 24 to the database as well, of course.



Line 313  - This deals with the size of the window.

Change to:



The magic number is 52, change all of them to 44. (make sure you use
match word as you only want the whole number.)


Otherwise, these are all the instances in which 52 is used.

Line 339 - Same as Above

Change to:



Line 342 - Same as Above

Change to:



Line 369 - Same as Above

Change to:



Line 1981 - Deals with the cursor

Change to:



Line 1986 - Deals with the cursor

Change to:


After you have changed all the 52's


Line 1715 - Adding buttons

Obviously, add buttons that you want here, one for s and t.
Change to this:


Line 1730 (1732 after adding s7, t7) - Adding Buttons

Change to:



Line 1763 (1765 after adding s7, t7) - Adding Buttons

Change to:





Line 2084 to 2139 - Adding Buttons
This one is a little trickier, but shouldn't be hard to figure out.
You should see when 0, when 1, etc.
Add the next number, which would be after these two lines.

Add this line after.


If you want to call a common event from the menu, use this line.



Note: You probably don't want your additional button under Exit, in which case
you'll have to change the order of lines 2084 to 2139. If you know what you're doing,
this isn't very hard to do. (also make sure to change 1715+ (s7, t7) to the appropriate names.
Also you may have to change the names of the icons in the icon folder.)

Note: Also important! But probably obvious.
You must add additional menu icons to the appropriate folder.
item6
menu6

Also, please, don't ask me how I found out all this out, since I have no scripting knowledge.
I most certainly did not check every number finding out what they all did, so that I may add another button.

legacy, your script rocks! I just find one annoying detail on it. Guillaume777's multi-slot script isn't compatible to your menu. The menu and some functions of the multi-slot script work, but the possibility to equip 2 or more weapons/armors accessories has been lost. I guess that many out there may not use your script because of this detail, I hope that you (or someone else) can help all of us with this annoying downfall ._. Thanks for the attention and hope that you can help us, newbies of RGSS or people that simply don't want to think.

Thanks for update Legacy.
I am now using this at first I wasn't,
because I thought it would affect my battle system.
Now I switched to Charlie Lee's and they both work perfect together.

So good job, I have a few suggestions for this script for a later updates though.

A. Option to Turn off HP/SP/EXP Bars from Menu, so you can insert your own.
I mean the main menu part not status or anything. The very start of the menu
where the characters, step, and play time is located.
B. Equip with new update seems still not to work. You can't equip anything after
you unequipped any of your gear. So please fix this, and it seems to be perfect, except
for a few minor features you can add to enhance it more. I don't think you can equip anything either.
C. Words by the Icons instead of just having hovering words. For example have Potion Icon for Recovery then have the text next to it, and have it where you can turn it on and off as well.
D. Guillaume777's Compatibility to this menu script. Have a option to turn this feature on or off.

Until LegACy implements such a function, you can take them out fairly easily.

Find this line:
Line 107 in v1.01

Change to this one.

Will disable the HP/SP/EXP bars, but will keep the stat bars in the Status menu.


---------------------


Are you sure you are using version 1.01? The problems you described were present in the earlier one, but
I have found no instance of them in the newest release.

Version 1.01 can be found in this post by LegACy.

----------------------


I have no idea what you mean by this.

I will check this out tomorrow I got to go soon, thanks for the help though.

Well, if you know my older CMS you'll know I'll always implement tons of other scripts into the CMS, so, just wait for the script to be on the compatability list, kay?


A. Okay, it's a feature I've been deleting from my older CMS, I thought people would never turn the bar off!
B.Hmm... I'll check it out, but you're sure u're using v1.01?
C. Okay, not sure I understand this, but do you mean you want the text to be on the icon (so the text is an image instead) and no hovering windows? Well, I'll give you a feature to turn off the hovering window then
D. Just be patient ^^

Thanks for all the post guys, this kinda things are the one that keeps me scripting!

B. Reply: I got V.1.01 and it still doesn't work for equipping. I got your demo and pasted
the new update inside the game, and the problems seems to still be there.

C. Reply: Like for example have a icon and words next to it, like on your old one.
So have a Recovery Icon then text to the right of it. Though might not fit unsure or not.
Like I said before too option to turn it on or off. Hope I made more sense this time.

Thanks for thinking about my suggestions I will add more if I think of any good ones,
keep up the good work. Can't wait for this to work perfectly, will be great.

um, i am kinda newbish so forgive my question but... how to make items icons in inventory appear? where in script i should define item atributes?


sorry for my english if i cannot be understand i will try again to post :(

B. It works mighty fine to me... are u sure u're using the one from the txt file? since I haven't updated the demo... try copying it to an empty project
C. Nope, I can't do that. Doing so will destroy the look of the menu, as well as betraying the concept I have set for it.

In the database


EDIT
Okay, I really hate big, non SKD script like that one. It's really hard translating what's the script is doing! (Not to mention unnecessary codes and ineffective coding >.<)

Anyway, I've got a question, is it possible to have different numbers of slot on each party member? (Like, arshes have 7 slots while Basil only has 6)

I have checked this like 100 times, it doesn't work.
I downloaded your demo of 1.00, and put 1.01 inside the script, and it still doesn't work.
Repost the script or make a new demo it seems not to be working.
Maybe you forgot something in the text file or there is something important missing.

3038 Lines of Code. - V.1.00
3158 Lines of Code. - V.1.01

There is a mess up with icons, they get a white line on the right side of them, when you unequip too.
No words show beside the icon either, so hope I helped. Good luck with the script Legacy.

Almost finished with the compatability fix now...
And I still got no clue on what to do with the status window, I mean, it won't be enough to display many equipments! Anybody have a suggestion?


Also, does anybody also encounter the same error as helladen?

Yes it's possible, it is explained on the first part of the script. You can adjust ANY character to have have, let's say n amount of equip slots, X amount of armor slots, accessory, etc...

Legacy just repost the script when your done with new update. That
should fix the problem, just test to see when you unequip gear.
That you can see the name of it and icon, and you can move cursor up and down.

is there a way to perhaps add another window like the item window, that scrolls to replace the first, to have new menu?

Good stuff as usual LegACy; though I'll keep my modded version of your original 1 scene CMS. I like all of the extra details that one offers (as well as the portraits and element wheel).

Umm... I don't really get what you're saying, sorry

Well, if people are ever in need of potraits, they would just need to post it here, requesting it, while for the element wheel, well, I erased it from this CMS because it takes to much space...


Sigh, I see that I've been doing the patch for multi-slot script all wrong... I've been trying modify my script so it suits the multislot script, no, no no. What I really need to do, is to copy the multislot script into mine and modify it to suits my CMS...

Legacy did you find the problem I was having?
Hopefully next patch will make this way awesomer.

Note: Make sure to have it where you can turn multi-slot off for those who don't have
compatibility's issues. :)
